Answer 2

Total number of chocolates initial in the box is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Let The number of chocolates in the box =  n

The number of chocolates grab by Frazer = $\dfrac{4}{5}$ of total

i.e number of chocolates grab by Frazer = $\dfrac{4}{5}$ × n

Number of chocolates left in box = 7

According to question

Total number of chocolates in box - number of chocolates grab by Frazer = number of chocolates left in box

i.e  n - $\dfrac{4}{5}$ × n  = 7

Or,  n - $\dfrac{4n}{5}$  = 7

Or,  $\dfrac{5 n - 4n}{5}$ = 7

or,  $\dfrac{n}{5}$ = 7

By cross multiplication

∴   n = 5 × 7

i.e  n = 35

So, Total number of chocolates initial in the box = n = 35

Hence, Total number of chocolates initial in the box is 35  Answer
